United States » Introduction of Las Vegas

Las Vegas is located in the Las Vegas Valley, a desert surrounded by the Spring Mountains to the west, Frenchman Mountain to the east, the Sheep and Las Vegas ranges to the north and the McCullough Range to the south.

Las Vegas is all about glamour for its own sake, over-the-top hustle and flash as means and end. In other cities, hotels are built near the major attractions. Here, the hotels are the major attractions. It's not just the casinos with their nonstop action and sound, the almost-blinding lights, or the buildings that seek to replicate some other reality (Paris, Venice, New York, and ancient Egypt).
